Title: CSX Southern West Virginia Coal (VHS video)
Publisher: Produced by Pentrex.
Seller ID: P157
Logan, Big Coal & Coal River Subdivisions, Plus Connecting Subs Come along on a tour of discovery as we explore CSX branchlines in the coal fields of West Virginia. You'll see where CSX coal trains originate and where they travel on the Logan, Coal River and Big Coal Subdivisions and their numerous connecting subs. Here is the story of how coal is brought down out of the hollows and moved out to world markets. There's plenty of action as hard working diesel locomotives pull their strings of hoppers up the stiff mountain grades. After the trains wind up the twisting branchlines, you'll see how the cars are flood-loaded at the mines. Cabooses are still utilized on some trains, and even rear end pushers are to be seen on others. Following loaded trains out of the coal fields, we visit a rail-to-river transfer facility. A rotary dumper turns coal hoppers upside down, quickly unloading the black diamonds into barges. An interview with Tim Hensley, CSX Resident Vice-President for West Virginia, provides insight into the importance of coal to the state and to the railroad. Mr. Hensley was once a locomotive engineer and he shares a personal experience in coal train operations. Here for your enjoyment are the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and the power and majesty of the railroads as we take you up the hollers exploring CSX branchlines in the story of Southern West Virginia Coal. 90 Minutes In Color with Live Audio and Narration. Packaged in Plain Cardboard Slipcase. Retail $39.95.
